I am so fortunate to have met many amazing people along my journey who have become my extended family. I am the person I am today partly because of the industry and Ponte Vedra Inn and Club family.

I joined The Lodge and Club during one of the most difficult times in food and beverage industry due to Covid-19 as the outlets manager. With my hard work and great mentors I was recently promoted to Director of Food and Beverage at Epping Forest Yacht and Country Club.

I started with GATE Hospitality Group in 2014 as a Front Desk Lead Agent. At that time, I was a recent graduate of Florida State University Dedman School of Hospitality.

I was with Ritz Carlton for 10 years before finding Gate Hospitality. Five years ago, I started as the Gourmet Shop and Room Service Manager before being promoted to Director of Restaurants. Our family was growing and I needed a change with availability. Gate Hospitality gave me the opportunity to join the Human Resource team which has provided the schedule that fits best with my family. I always had a passion for Human Resources but this sparked a new passion and career for me. I am truly thankful for my work family and the opportunities for growth and development.

I've had the privilege of being a Membership Director for Gate Hospitality for 7 years. While it's clear GATE is committed to extending significant resources to ensure we have the best in amenities, products and services, their priority remains investing in the development of people and creating great working environments.

My leadership team sets definitive expectations, but I appreciate their predictability, inclusiveness and unwavering support. I am proud to be part of a team that recognizes the necessity of operating as one.

I began my career at Ponte Vedra Inn and Club as a dining room attendant, forty one years ago. Shortly after, I was promoted to a server.
